Ingredients
- 200 g Coffee, brewed
- 0.4 g Cardamom
- 0.05 g Saffron
- 2 g Sugar
Method
- Pour the brewed coffee into a small pot (a dallah, if you have one) and add the crushed cardamom pods.
- Warm gently over low heat for 3-4 minutes without letting it boil hard, so the cardamom infuses.
- Add the saffron threads and the sugar, if using, and stir until dissolved (traditional qahwa is left unsweetened).
- Strain into small handleless cups and serve immediately while hot.
